You do not need a plane ticket to see BTS on the Arirang tour. Since April 2026 BigHit Music and the distributor Trafalgar Releasing have brought one concert after another to cinemas, in more than 80 countries and regions. This guide lists every screening and is updated whenever a new one is announced.

Next up: Kaohsiung and Jakarta

On 2 November 2026 BigHit Music announced the next two: the show at Kaohsiung National Stadium on Saturday 21 November and the show at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Tuesday 29 December. Kaohsiung plays on about 3,300 screens, Jakarta on about 2,800. Some markets add encore screenings on 22 November and 30 December. Expect about three hours.

Where the time zone allows, the concert is live. Elsewhere it plays one or two days later. In Europe the Kaohsiung show falls around lunchtime: the Italian distributor lists the live screening at 11:45 on 21 November, with a second showing at 16:00, and Jakarta live at 12:45 on 29 December.

Global ticket sales open on Thursday 5 November at 14:00 Central European Time.

Tickets

Tickets go on sale on Thursday 5 November: at 10 a.m. KST in Korea, where CGV, Lotte Cinema and Megabox show the concerts, and at 1 p.m. GMT for the rest of the world (14:00 in the Netherlands and Belgium). The official site btsliveviewing.com lists the cinemas per country. The official trailer goes up on BTS's YouTube channel on the same day.

In the Netherlands and Belgium

Pathé lists BTS World Tour 'Arirang' in Kaohsiung: Live Viewing on its Dutch site, so the Kaohsiung show is coming to Pathé cinemas in the Netherlands on 21 November. Which Pathé cinemas take part and the start times are on pathe.nl. The Netherlands shares a time zone with Italy, so expect the live screening around midday. On the afternoon of 5 November we could not yet find a Dutch listing for Jakarta, and no Belgian cinema (Kinepolis or another chain) had either concert on sale. We will add them here as soon as they appear.

The stage stands in the middle of the stadium with the crowd all around, and the cinema version is filmed for that 360-degree setup. The Arirang tour reaches Asia after 14 sold-out shows in Latin America. Kaohsiung is the first Asian stop, from 19 November.
